ABC Warehouse I bought a Colby (CTV-101) 9" ac-dc color tv on line which smoked and burned as soon as I plugged it in and went to the store to resolve the problem to no advail. Mt. Pleasant Michigan

I ordered online from their weekly sales magazine (May 2007) a Colby 9" color tv that is ac or dc powered for $89.00 so I could use it camping.

The minute I plugged it in it started smoking and the wire and power supply were really hot. That was it. It never worked. I tried hooking it up to the battery supply and it done nothing, but the wire got hot.

I then drove to the Mt. Pleasant store, which I have done a few thousands of dollars of business. They told me because I ordered it online nothing could be done about it.

I don't know why, but like an idiot I purchased a new one at the store for the same price off the shelf ($89.00) which is what was suppose to be a sale price in their flyer.

This one works fine so I had a tv when I went camping, but what was suppose to cost $89 I ended up spending $180. They simply said nothing could be done and that was it.

This is a bunch of crap and is bad business. After all the money I have spent to ABC Warehouse, they have gotten the last penny they will ever get from me.

Be careful if you are going to purchase an item from them. Be prepared to take home an item that doesn't work and don't waste your time trying to return it. I wouldn't let them repair it if they offered to, which they won't. You shouldn't have to buy something and have it repaired right off the bat.

Maybe what you ought to do is walk into the store and throw a few hundred dollars on the counter and turn around and walk out. It would save a lot of nonsense conversations and flustrations and help them stay in business.
